We also develop our skill and hone our tactics, both online and offline, in addition to studying how to extract maximum performance from our machines to great synergetic effect. We do it all and enjoy it very much. We share our findings in the 1C community and hope it benefits others and adds to THEIR enjoyment, and perhaps generate discussion and add to everyone's overall learning.

If you have no problems with the current RAF fighter flight models then this thread is of no use to you whatsoever, IMHO.

Thank you Snapper for sharing! Did anyone try the same in a 100 octane Hurricane yet ?

No problem Reaper, that Snapper bloke's got such a loud mouth, you'd think he was all of ATAG put together.

Hope you've had chance to give it a try.

Salute

Kudos to the OP for the effort he has put in to maximize performance from the Spitfire, he should get every credit.

Unfortunately, the fact is, this still does not change anything in regards to the complete failure of the game to properly model both the Hurricane and Spitfire.

The Spitfire 1A 100 octane is still 44 mph too slow, and climbs much worse than the actual aircraft.



It was capable of running for 5 minutes at +12/3000 rpm, and considerably longer at lower rpms, something which it is incapable of now.

[

The Hurricane has the same problems, too slow, climbs poorly compared with historical, and overheats much too soon at lower rpms.

Hi Buzzsaw,

I wasn't intending to say 'look folks, everything is wonderful!' by posting this vid, just intending to show all of the people currently having overheating and energy retention problems in the current patch that there is a 'workaround' in order to play the game as it currently stands, with a better chance of matching the 109s with these settings as a basic guide.

The 50% rad setting works for all the RAF a/c currently modelled in the game.

I think by now, most people know that there are errors in all the FMs, both RAF and LW/RA. There are many threads to this effect in the FM/DM section.

This thread was intended to be about getting the best out of the game currently, but thanks for posting the data.

My Safe settings in Spit 1a 100 oct are;

Full Throttle/+11 Boost
Radiator 55%
Prop pitch 60%
Mixture 50%

Keep eye on Temps. If goes over 115 Deg Cel on water, drop throttle from 110% to 100% until returns to 110deg cel or lower.

Thx Again Dutch, really enjoyed testing tonight.

A couple of 109's were bricking it tonight watching me follow them in a climb n dive and hammer them before they ran off.

Long live the 1a 100 oct FM for NOW.
